A permanent magnet stepper motor differs from a variable reluctance one in having

  • A.a smaller step angle for the same number of stator poles
  • B.no requirement for any stator winding at all
  • C.a rotor made of soft iron with no magnet in it
  • D.detent torque when de-energised

Answer: D

Correct answer: detent torque when de-energised

The rotor magnet interacts with the stator iron even with no current flowing, so the shaft resists displacement and holds its last position without power. This is often a useful safety property; where a free shaft is wanted when de-energised, the variable reluctance type is chosen instead.
